HEARTFELT THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT!

[Guest guest]

dear friends,

it has been 3weeks ago tonight that my baby karlee beth atkins left

this world. i want to thank ALL of you for the prayers,words of

support,e-mails, and great info that i learned about mito.

i remember the first message that i posted several months ago. it

took a little bit and then i got all kinds of help. i am so thankful

for this site. i am having a hard time, i go minute by minute. i have

had wondeful family and friend support.

when we got karlee's diagnosis on march 30th from dr.shoffner, i was

devasted. i came to grips that she would die. i just didnt think it

would be at 20months old. she is a very special baby. i have not

asked GOD, WHY ME?, OR WHY MY BABY?, how could i ask why? i would not

want this to happen to anyone. i know that she is in heaven and that

one day i will see and be with her again. i cant wait! i just miss

her alot and i think about her constantly.

the last 4 weeks of her life was terrible, alot of phases she went

through,lost 10lbs, and looked really bad,but on thursday august 12

when we went to the funeral home to see her. she looked as if she was

never sick a day,even her little flyaway hairdo was laying down on

her head. i said this world made her hair stand up on ends and when

she left this world her hair layed down,too.

i hope and pray that if anyone goes through this, that you will call

me,write me or e-mail me. i will be very honest about the whole

picture.

i love you all and please continue to pray for me, pray that i will

get stronger for my family. they need me.

love and prayers!

Davonne,

It is so hard for most of us to even imagine. We spend most of our

days trying to never think about it even though it is always there.

I think that you are so strong. My thoughts and prayers continue to

be with you and your family.
